MOUTHWASHES

Regularly rinsing with a mouthwash is a fundamental part of a good routine of oral hygiene to counteract bad breath — along with proper tooth brushing and the use of dental floss.²

CB12 is a mouthwash that contains a combination of two main ingredients: zinc acetate ) and chlorhexidine . This synergic combination in CB12 counteracts the root cause of bad breath for up to 12 hours!¹

In 90% of the halitosis cases, bacteria build-up is the root cause. This accumulation can take place in between the teeth, the gum pockets, and especially in the dorsum of the tongue. Bacteria then produce volatile sulphur compounds (VSC), which are the smelly gases mainly responsible for foul breath.^2,3

Contains fluoride 0.05%. Not for children below 12 years of age.
